Keycloak 19.0.3 Quarkus, Client confidential access type.

[Dmitri Zamysloff]

Hi,

I want to be able to connect my backend to keycloak to manage users. Therefore I need to configure client. I learned from all videos to older version, that I need to set access type to confidential to be able to use password. But I can't find anything where I can set it.

So the plan was to create the client and then using service account of this client to access the keycloak api using keycloak admin library. So as I understand I will need client name, client secret, service account name and service account password, which I can't set right now.

I am using keycloak client from spring boot. So if there any example or step-by-step instruction for 19.0.3 - would be helpful.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Dmitri,

The new UI is confusing if you're used to the old one. To create a
confidential client, you just need to set "Client authentication" to
on (off will create a public one). For enabling a service account,
select "Service account roles".

Regards,

Hi,

Thank you for answer. I have done that and I clicked on service account and wanted to set a password for that service account, but it was not possible. I got error which say it is not possible to create password for the user. So how shall I use Keycloak client, which requires from me client name, client secret, user name and user password? I feel I am missing something.

Yes, you are misunderstanding the flow.  When you enable "Service account roles" you can use the client credentials to get a token as sevice-accoun-<your_client_id>. This is not a user to be added.
